Default new slim crashed today

I have taken a few photos on my bike but they weren't quite good enough to put on the forum. Been meaning to take some better ones. The Charcoal with the black exhaust does look great.

I was on a busy road in Savanna today and a 65 year old lady crossed a couple lanes and merged right into me.

Spend a few hours in the er. Nothing broke just scrapes and contsions.

Engine on bike looks okay but tank and fenders not. Its a mess. Dealer says it takes 8-10 weeks to get a painted tank.

Real shitty day. The ride and handling of that bike is exactly what I envisioned it would e. I love the 103B motor.

Well put! Be glad that it was only paint and metal needing replacement! I sure hope that 65 year old will learn to be more aware of motorcycles.

No worries...you'll get the bike back to riding condition soon. Heal well and count your blessings.

Glad to hear that you are ok. My Heritage is on the mend after an accident as well. Sheet metal can be replaced.
